IAESTE Switzerland is supported by volunteers of our four Swiss Local Committees (LC) which are based in Basel, Bern, Lausanne and Zurich.

Our volunteers are essential in providing a great experience for our international interns. They support them every step of the way: they contact the interns before their arrival to help them prepare and answer their questions, they help find suitable accommodation so they have somewhere to call home when their internship begins and they welcome the interns once they arrive in Switzerland.

During the year, the Local Committees organize a wide variety of leisure activities such as events, visits or sports activities throughout Switzerland for the international intrens. These events are fantastic opportunities for them to learn more about the Swiss lifestyle and culture, but are also a chance to meet and make friends from around the world.

In addition to supporting the interns, there is a close cooperation between the Local Committees and the National Office whom they help in promoting IAESTE internship offers and the exchange programme among Swiss students. They organize different activities at Swiss universities, such as information events, but also take part in career fairs as well as workshops and presentations on career-related topics.

Volunteering with an LC gives young people an opportunity to develop an international network while gaining work experience and having fun. There are various roles required in our LCs, such as event coordinator, tutor and treasurer.
